I smoke. I have been smoking for about 15 years now which is a long frickn time.
I have quite a few times, 6 months was the longest time. And I did it cold turkey. It went pretty well, I had lollipops to suffice the oral fixation and I just wasn't around smokers a lot at the time and I didn't drink.
The other times I quit was for up to 3 months. It was hard if I was drinking, or I wiould have a cigar instead and then I would have 5 cigars in a night and it was nasty.
You defintalely have to be reall sick of smoking and want to quit. If you have no desire than it will suck big time. I have tried patches too and they helped a lot, I barely thought about smoking at all.
I have been wanting to quit again soon but it's hard, I like it and I am just not ready again.
The whole dying from cancer smoking thing doesn't worry me, there are so many people that die of lung cancer etc that never smoked a day in there life. For me it is just a nasty, smelly habit and I hope to quit someday for good.
When I quit for the 6 months I had so much more energy, I couldn't sleep well for about a month I was wide awake. I could smell and taste everything it was incredible.
Good luck! Keep us posted.
